I guess you’ve never worked retail/warehouse/restaurants or other low-end jobs. You’re often threatened with your job if you take off work for being ill in those positions.

Only mildly weirder than what they did with Dianne Feinstein. These fucking people around them are god damned vultures, doesn’t matter the party. They will keep these people in office well beyond where their faculties are working at any capacity.

The fucking aides, pages, interns, consultants… Just everyone surrounding these elderly people are god damned vampires.

Like I know, fuck Mitch and send him packing to hell, but the breadth of this problem isn’t discussed nearly as much as we discuss elderly in positions of power in general. Donald Trump is far from the first and won’t be the last person in a position of power that they Weekend at Bernie’s the shit out of until the body stinks too badly because it’s become bloated and rotten.

May he rest in piss

Oh no I’ve heard of China’s 9-9-6 and such, but it’s definitely American political and social influence that is helping push Europe right.

I would namecheck China if I thought China was the one influencing them like this, but the American cultural and legal influence on Europe is plain to see.

Like examples such as when Sweden was influenced by US media companies to put the guys from The Pirate Bay in jail prison, but those same companies are more or less okay with making “deals” with AI companies despite the AI companies having done what The Pirate Bay admins did but by ten-thousand-fold if not more.

Anyway, yes, the rest of the world often has even worse options, but Europe (in general) has pretty good social and worker protections, and it’s not China exerting it’s influence to reduce worker protections in Europe. China seems happy just kicking back and letting the West make all the mistakes.

EDIT: typos, clarification

Hey Germany, stop adopting the worst aspects of US culture, thanks. We can tell you right the fuck now all this does is make everyone go to work sick and spread disease.

Glad to hear!

People have forgotten because he turned out to be a sex pest…

But once upon a time Louis CK would get annoyed with piracy and sell copies of his new standup show at $5 with a no DRM copy of the file, just politely asking people to not pirate.

He made $5 million almost overnight which helped fund his foray into television with Louie which was on TV for five years.

This literally was the thing that took his career to the next level. Where he went from a comic with a pretty okay career to one with a massive career.

He used to do the same for other comedians, too. I bought a couple Todd Barry specials from his website the same way: $5, DRM-free media files.

I still have all those files backed up.

I just updated last night to 2.7.5 ha

Wait Switzerland is named after a font?

I dunno about an xyz domain specifically but njal.la has good privacy protection with domains starting at 15€ annually.

edit: sorry nevermind just noticed you said ten years somehow my brain skipped over that.

Cursed.

I’ve generally heard 26.04 isn’t doing too hot right now, and I always thought there wasn’t an officially supported upgrade path until things are more stable in the new release, but maybe that’s Ubuntu proper and not Kubuntu.

I haven’t gotten a notice to upgrade, however. Also on Kubuntu 24.04.

Did you upgrade or is it a new install?

I thought upgrades weren’t officially available until August.

I mean it seems like their rights are deteriorating nearly everywhere…

your link is a little broken, my friend!

Also to anyone wondering, this project isn’t on some random Russian website for no reason at all.

It was chased off the Firefox add-ons/extensions page with DMCA claims, it was chased off Gitlab with DMCA claims, and it was chased off Github with DMCA claims.

It literally cannot survive on US corporate servers because it will get taken down again and again for DMCA violations.

Certified dumb

It’s still $199 for me, which is the price I remember it being for a few years now but maybe I am wrong.

This is why I want one of these little motherfuckers so god damned badly.

I’m so glad that none of it’s components have been hit hard by the AI tech market disaster, price point still the same so far. (crossing fingers for it to stay the same)
